A/N
Words cannot describe how much love I have for Aoba. ALOT.
He's my number 4 after Kakashi, Yamato & Genma (number 2/3 interchangeable between Yama/Genma)
I thought this drabble ended weirdly. I might use this drabble for an Aoba oneshot in the future.
Maybe.
Can you just imagine him meeting Inoichi as a prospective son-in-law after having worked under him for so long? xD
[Ino x Aoba] – Miss A | Only You
"I like you." Ino stood firmly, crossing her arms as she was being made fun at. "Is that so hard to understand?"
Aoba chuckled but upon seeing how serious the girl was, he froze.
"Wait, you're serious?"
"I've been saying that for about a thousand times!" She groaned.
The man sheepishly smiled as he ran his hands across his hair. It was times like this that he was glad he decided to wear his shades. No one could really tell what he was thinking of behind the shades, and he preferred it to be that way.
"But why?" He tilted his head in confusion. "There are so many other guys, those who are around your age and those who are way more popular. I mean, I don't particularly stand out myself, sadly."
"Do I need a reason?" Ino sighed, taking a step closer to him. "I just do, ever since we went on that mission together."
"But-"
"And I know you like me too." She took yet another step closer. "Don't even deny it. I've seen the way you look at me."
Aoba gulped. Did she just read him, even with his shades on?
"Your father won't be happy at this." He tried making excuses, but the girl was having none of it.
Ino simply smiled.
"Oh trust me." This time Ino was the one who chuckled. "He likes you a lot."
